Habs @ Bruins - Game taking place outdoors

Kenny F'ing Powers · Dec 30, 2015

Bahaha, in that article, the "Barstool smokeshow of the day" is a friend I went to college with. Now I get to harass her about it.

savage362 · Dec 30, 2015

I'll be there. Hope to build off of last night's game and watch Montreal continue the slide.

And as I'm driving down from VT, Any vehicles from Canada are automatically assumed to be assholes and I will do my best to cut you off or not let them by.

TFP · Dec 30, 2015

I'll be there tailgating, not going into the actual game though. Will likely watch from CBS Scene or Toby Keiths. Looking forward to it all.

PedroSpecialK · Dec 30, 2015

Will be there tailgating early, section 223 for the game

cshea · Dec 30, 2015

Heading down on Friday. I poo poo'd the idea of going to another Winter Classic for a while, but damned if I'm not pretty pumped to go. Way up in the 300's, so I should actually be able to see the game this time around!

savage362 · Dec 30, 2015

I'll be in section 122 for the game.

Dropkick Izzy · Dec 30, 2015

Went in 2010, sat behind the Sox/B's dugout and couldn't see shit but had a absolute blast. Going with the old lady again this year and sitting in 333. Probably looking forward to it even more since this is a day away from the kids.

Where is everyone parking/tailgating? I got suggestions from some Pats ticket holder friends on a spot on Washington Street Extension in South Walpole. Though non-traditional, $20 and quick walk down the tracks to the stadium and (allegedly) an easy exit.

We're going to that lot right next to the liquor store/Subway, should be an easy exit north relatively speaking

tonyandpals · Dec 30, 2015

I'll be there as well. Sprung for clubs at the last minute. Six of us piling into the minivan. Looking for parking/tailgate advice from the north as well. Can you grill pretty much anywhere you park?

If you’re coming from VT, they likely have Quebec plates, so feel free to cut them off

I was offered a free ticket but 1) I have to work, and 2) I would have had to carpool with 3 Habs fans for 7 hours, so I declined. Don’t cut off the Canadians coming down I-95 from the Maritimes because there’s a 25% chance they are die-hard Bruins fans. The other 75% would be Habs fans. The Leafs fans will be at home watching college football.

+3 (maybe).

Do you know what time that lot opens? Coming from the north as well so that spot makes sense.

edit: Confirmed that they open at 9 "sharp."

TFP · Dec 30, 2015

A group of us are taking a party bus down so we'll likely have to park in the bus/RV lot. Should be interesting to say the least.

The Napkin · Dec 30, 2015

Make sure you aren't trying to take any kinds of bags in, Gillette rules are in play....

cshea · Dec 30, 2015

Lots open at 9.

The Gillette lots, that is. I'm not sure about the other ones.

TheRealness · Dec 30, 2015

I am going with my old man and two brothers. We will be in section 308. Going to plan on doing our usual for pats games, and parking and tailgating at New England Freight a short walk down the tracks to Gilette.

I'm actually planning on making a crockpot of MaBrowndogs chili, for those familiar with the SOSH cookbook, so feel free to stop by and see how badly I mess it up.

Pro tip: the darker the chocolate, the better.

Other pro tip: chili dogs.

Salem's Lot · Dec 30, 2015

I'm going to be in 215. Six of us going. Shooting to get there at 9 am, and have the grill lit and beers cracked by 9:30.

PedroSpecialK · Dec 30, 2015

No Marchand/Krejci probably means...

Eriksson - Bergeron - Griffith
Beleskey - Spooner - Hayes
Vatrano - Ferraro - Connolly
Shithead - Talbot - Randell

Kemppainen has also been skating so he could slot in for Randell

TFP · Dec 30, 2015

I'd probably flip Hayes and Connolly but you're likely right on.

bosox0192 · Dec 31, 2015

Holliston native Mike Condon will wear a Pats-themed mask.

Awesome

cshea · Dec 31, 2015

Clode and Belichick

TFP · Dec 31, 2015

That's awesome. Also, I love Belichick's answer when asked about hockey today. He's the best.

cshea · Dec 31, 2015

Koko up, Colin Miller to Providence.

Thanks, Brad.

cshea · Dec 31, 2015

In better news, Rask's mask

Gronk, Edelman and Gostkowski on the other side. Old Garden on the back. Tremendous.

cshea · Dec 31, 2015

They're practicing now...appears the lineup will be:

Eriksson - Bergeron - Griffith
Beleskey - Spooner - Connolly
Vartrano - Ferraro - Khokhlachev
Shithead - Talbot - Hayes

Chara - Seidenberg
Krug - McQuaid
Morrow - K. Miller

Wouldn't have guess that'd be our 3rd line for the Winter Classic when the season started, huh?

TFP · Dec 31, 2015

FYI the NHL Network is showing the Bruins practice right now. It's pretty cool to see both the practice and the outdoor stuff. Rink and everything looks gorgeous.

The game jerseys actually looked good on the ice during the picture. Better than the promo pics.

Dropkick Izzy · Dec 31, 2015

Seat's taken...

TFP in the house!

Dropkick Izzy · Dec 31, 2015

Oh, and add trademark violation to the Condon family rap sheet...

Tuukka's bucket is better.

LogansDad · Dec 31, 2015

Guys.... we are so fucking lucky to be sports fans from New England.

The Napkin · Dec 31, 2015

Meh

LogansDad · Dec 31, 2015

Anyone watching the alumni game?

TFP · Dec 31, 2015

Yup. Samsonov can still move out there, and Recchi can still shoot.

cshea · Dec 31, 2015

I thought Ray looked like he could give us 15 minutes tomorrow. He moved around pretty well.

Samsonov playing definitely made me feel old.

TFP · Dec 31, 2015

The line of:

Sturm - Samsonov - Recchi
Bourque - Wesley

basically encapsulates the entirety of my Bruins fandom. Was pretty weird to see those 5 out there at once.

Also, fuck you Nilan. So glad he was the one to end it.

tonyandpals · Jan 1, 2016

Single seat available for today. Lower level sideline. Face value 99. Email tonysalamone19@gmail.com and I will connect you to my friend. You can pick it up at Gillette at his tailgate.

PedroSpecialK · Jan 1, 2016

Holy fuck am I hungover

Pulled into the bus lot to tailgate. Habs fans everywhere here because they all took buses down. Could get ugly.

tonyandpals · Jan 1, 2016

Some soshers in the liquor store lot. Up against back of building. Come on by

MiracleOfO2704 · Jan 1, 2016

Played before the alumni game yesterday, and if I had to guess, those watching on Sportsnet today in Canada will see it again.

McDrew · Jan 1, 2016

Anyone else notice that Talbot has a posted 2 minutes on the scoreboard in the pregame?

Eddie Jurak · Jan 1, 2016

PK channeling Walt Frazier.

Nomar813 · Jan 1, 2016

What does PK do when one of his hos gets out of line?
